Tackle by Dragonfly Soft Drum Stick Topper

Drummer and craftsman Scott McPherson (Tackle Instrument Supply Co.) and orchestral percussionist and mallet-maker Dinesh Joseph (Dragonfly Percussion) began a long-distance collaboration. Scott’s rock drumming bona fides (Elliott Smith, Beck, Bright Eyes) and Dinesh’s orchestral career (Buffalo Philharmonic) came crashing together to create a totally new kind of drum set accessory. Toppers are mallet heads that fit securely onto the tip of any medium drum set stick. They’re based on a traditional Austrian timpani mallet design of tightly stacked layers of cloth. The result is a drum set mallet that sounds and feels far superior than a felt covered timpani stick and is way more durable. The hard leather, medium canvas and soft flannel bring a brand new palette of timbres to your drums and cymbals. Available exclusively from Big Band Distribution.
